I am currently rebuilding my desktop (amd64 system), I have been using FreeBSD for servers for quite some time but this will be the first time using it fully as my desktop on an AMD64 system. In the past, I have run into a few packages that would not build "out of the box" on amd64, namely, nxserver and wine.
Unfortunately for me, both of these are big deals. On a different amd64 machine I previously tried getting nxserver to work but due to circumstances outside my control I was unable to finish that experiment. I have also seen posts in the past where people claimed to get wine to run. In short, are these still issues? I tried scanning the forums and posts on other sites but most things I found were either old info or (in the case of wine) were ways to make it work.
I want to use FreeBSD as my desktop os, are there solutions out that perhaps I'm just not seeing (I know there's one or two I've seen to make mine work that I haven't been able to try yet since I'm not done with my rebuild) or are these still in the works?
Just looking for some input.
Thanks!
